Here we goooooooooooooo there were a few Police bikes downtown last night handing
out tickets for noise bylaw infractions. I heard that a few of the sport bike guys received
tickets so I am sure there were more than those issued. Rumors are HRM was starting to
enforce these bylaws.
Another ticket was also issued for a beanie helmet - so helmets, pipes and plates seem
to be an issue this year.. time to decide what to do.....................
